Take your new pentacle neclace with you on a walk in the nearest forest that contains a stream, brook, or other small waterway. Walk for a while silently observing every little thing in the forest. If you find something interesting, stop and observe further. Take your time and relax. Just concentrate on what is around you, and don't think about your outside life. When you feel like you are finished, find a comfortable place to sit on the bank of the waterway. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Begin to meditate on the Goddess and God and all the ways they affect you. Expand your meditation to the elements and how they are present, both literally and symbolically, in your life. When you are finished, dangle the pentacle in the stream and chant:
"Symbol of Goddess and God,
Icon of the elements,
Guide me and remind me
Of their presence in my life."
Chant this until you feel like you're done. Then take the pentacle out of the water and fasten it around your neck. Dip your finger in the water and trace an equal-armed cross on your forehead with it. Finish up with a whispered "Blessed be."
